Requirements
*******************************************************************************
Docker
===============================================================================
The EMERGEN-DB application was developed using a Docker containerization approach
which improves the reproducibility of the analyses.
We use Docker to develop and manage EMERGEN-DB. We invite you to verify that
the following requirements are satisfied before trying to bootstrap
the application:
* `Docker 20.10.5+ `_
We recommend you to follow Docker's official documentations to install
required docker tools (see links above).To help you, explanatory videos for each
operating system are available `here `_
**Docker must be on for the duration of EMERGEN-DB use.**
Docker-compose
===============================================================================
The EMERGEN-DB application is composed of several services running in separate docker
containers. To make them work together, we use Docker-compose. Below is the link to the
installation page proposed by Docker :
* `Docker-compose 1.29.0+ `_
GitLab
===============================================================================
As the project is currently in a
[private GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/ifb-elixirfr/covid19/EMERGEN-DB),
you need GitLab credentials and these credentials must have been added to the
collaborators group of the repository in order to have access to the code and
the docker image available in its registry.
Please, contact the owners of the EMERGEN-DB GitLab repository to be added to the
authorized collaborators.
